0:00 Satsuki Shibano + Yoshio Ojima - Music for Element
A really beautiful (and overlooked) single-track piece by pianist Satsuki Shibano ( 柴野さつき ) and experimental/ ambient musician Yoshio Ojima ( 尾島由郎 ), weaving a controlled but delicate space of contemplative piano improvisations and occasional bursts of more structured jazz licks layered on a bed of synthetic chiming instruments and sounds, plus roomy atmospheric pads.
Beginning at 14: 30, Shibano's spoken word performance would go on to be re-used in Shibano and Ojima's collaboration with experimental duo Visible Cloaks \"FRKWYS Vol. 15: serenitatem\", in the song \"Lapis Lazuli\"
[I wasn't able to find a legible album cover anywhere online so I took some creative liberties and created one that hopefully isn't too distant from the original.]
